The only development dependency of this project is Node.js. So just make sure you have it installed. Then type few commands known to every Node developer...
git clone https://github.com/sivaramsi/manageyum.git
cd manageyum
npm install
npm start
... and boom! You have a running desktop application on your screen.
The application is split between two main folders...
src - this folder is intended for files which need to be transpiled or compiled (files which can't be used directly by electron).
app - contains all static assets (put here images, css, html etc.) which don't need any pre-processing.
The build process compiles all stuff from the src folder and puts it into the app folder, so after the build has finished, your app folder contains the full, runnable application.
Treat src and app folders like two halves of one bigger thing.
The drawback of this design is that app folder contains some files which should be git-ignored and some which shouldn't (see .gitignore file). But thanks to this two-folders split development builds are much (much!) faster.
npm install
It will also download Electron runtime and install dependencies for the second package.json file inside the app folder.
npm start
Remember to add your dependencies to app/package.json file:
cd app
npm install name_of_npm_module --save
